What Jokes Are You Sick Of?

Asked by ilvorangeiceblocks (865points) August 26th, 2009

jokes which have been overused, simply just not funny, annoying, etcetera. For example like when your neighbor comes over when you’re washing your car and says, ‘you can do mine next.’ do you think jokes like these should be stricken from the record?

orange you glad I didn’t say knock knock again?

Strauss's avatar

Jokes that are nowhere near as funny as the teller supposes they are.

avvooooooo's avatar

Redneck jokes. They’re less funny when they’re true. Not me, but of at least one person in a 5 mile radius of where I am right now.

The jokes about quadruple amputees named “Bob” (in a swimming pool) and “Mat” (on your doorstep)

That’s what she said” and I never want to hear a ’needs more cowbell’ comment again. Ever.

I dislike the “you’re so ugly” jokes.
Well, I can’t help it if my momma gave birth to a funny looking child, there’s no need to rub it in,

Strauss's avatar

@brinibear don’t talk about your brother like that!

“My computer beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kickboxing”, originally by Emo Phillips, but now tweeted dozens of times daily.

I don’t understand why it continues to be repeated and retweeted, because hasn’t everyone seen it already?

filmfann's avatar

People who ask for help with something, then they look surprised when you try to help.
“I was joking!” they say. “You have no sense of humor!”
I do. It just wasn’t funny.

I would have to say first off that quoting a joke from a dane cook routine should be punishable by death.
Also, while its not really so much a joke, as a mannerism; I hate it when I will be at a party and someone will start quoting a stand up comedy routine as if they were thinking it up spontaneously. I especially hate it if I am the only one who knows that he or she is is plagiarizing jokes, and everyone else is in stitches.

Bri_L's avatar

I like all jokes as long as they are creative and original.

I have heard knock knock jokes I love (interrupting cow).

I think the “your mamma”. I don’t mind that the “your mamma” is the medium for delivery.

I still like a good blond joke. Take Paris Hilton for instance. She’s a blond and she’s the biggest joke there is.

I also like the old standard bar jokes “so and so was in a bar”, “so and so walked into a bar”

My take is, tell me because I may not have heard it.

Why do they call it the XBox 360?

Because when you see it, you’ll turn 360 degrees and moonwalk away.

rebbel's avatar

In sitcoms or movies, when they do wine-tasting and they “accidentally” drink it…..

Strauss's avatar

@Bri_L Here’s a new take on the bar joke…Did you hear about the magician who was walking down the street and turned into a bar?

zephyr826's avatar

The ones where people call and ask for stuff back (ie. the seventies, their shirt)

My husband loves these jokes and I am so sick of them.

sandystrachan's avatar

I am sick of Bill Gates and M$ . Biggest bunch of jokes ever

Piper_Brianmind's avatar

Dead baby jokes.
Not that they offend me or anything. Except that they do, because it’s typically the same four or five over and over. You might say.. I’m offended by the mere monotony of it all.

chelseababyy's avatar

Chuck Norris Jokes. Twilight Jokes. That’s-What-She-Said-Jokes-That-Are-Said-After-Somethingthatdoesntevenmakesensewithit. Hellen Keller Jokes. Racial Jokes that are just distasteful.

eponymoushipster's avatar

as opposed to the tasteful racist jokes?

did you hear the one about chuck norris watching twilight? he turned edward straight!

filmfann's avatar

I got your______ right here.

YARNLADY's avatar

@The_Compassionate_Heretic the only reason those ‘questions’ appear on Q & A sites is because someone thinks they are being funny

Bri_L's avatar

@chelseababyy – I just can’t stop laughing at the Chuck Norris ones. Maybe I just have not had them thrown at me enough.

Piper_Brianmind's avatar

I also hate the thing my mom does with cashiers when items don’t scan.
“If it doesn’t scan, it’s free, right?” Maybe it would be funny the first time.
But it’s every time.

tiffyandthewall's avatar

i don’t know if this could even be considered a joke, but lately on facebook i’ll see someone change their status to ’(so and so) just (monotonous daily whatever)!’ and then someone will comment with “you would!’. and then everyone is like LOLOLOL teeheehee like they’re in kindergarten. this isn’t just on facebook, but i see it 10x more on there.
also, when someone says something stupid and someone goes ‘deedeedee’ a la this video. oh my god that was going around like the swine flu for awhile and it just made me want to punch everyone.

i hate being in high school surrounded by people who think that’s funny!

filmfann's avatar

@tiffyandthewall Carlos Mancia just isn’t funny. I have seen videos showing he steals a lot of his material. South Park nailed him good on the Fishsticks show.

chelseababyy's avatar

Chuck Norris is lame. There’s nothing awesome or funny about him. And I’m unfollowing this thread now.

eponymoushipster's avatar

If Chuck Norris heard you say this, his beard would come and make you refollow this thread.

Bri_L's avatar

See, sometimes it isn’t about the topic, i.e. Chuck Norris. It is the concept. Take his name out and put someone you know who works out to much and thinks he is tough and tell the joke. Bam. Funny. That is why they work for me. Although, Chuck has legitimate championships in his field.
